Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is present by the following symptoms. Reoccurring thoughts and urges, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance. Attempts to ignore or stop such thoughts that urges, or images to neutralizes with some other thoughts or actions by a compulsion. Repetitive behaviors e.g. handwashing, ordering, checking (Achim, Maziade, Raymond, et al, 2011).

It is stated that “obsessive–compulsive symptoms can be difficult to assess, given that they are often manifested internally, and individuals with OCD may not be inclined to recognize and report symptoms” (Rapp, A., Bergman, ...

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is present by the
following symptoms. Reoccurring thoughts and urges, or images
that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance.
Attempts to ignore or stop such thoughts that urges, or images
to neutralizes with some other thoughts or actions by a

Brief Obsessive-compulsive Scale (BOCS), a self-rating
measure for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which has
been around for a couple of decades and is widely used in
Sweden. However, to begin an evidence - based assessment is
used to rule out any other mental illness. It is stated that
“obsessive–compulsive symptoms can be difficult to assess,
given that they are often manifested internally, and individuals
with OCD may not be inclined to recognize and report
symptoms” (Rapp, A., Bergman, L., Piacentini, J., McGuire, J.,
2016).
We published an article describing the BOCS and its
psychometric properties recently in the Nordic Journal of
Psychiatry. 2 Brief Obsessive-Compulsive Scale consists of a
15-item Symptom Checklist including 3 items (hoarding
disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and no suicidal self-injury
disorder) related to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) category “Obsessive-
compulsive related disorders”, accompanied by a single 6-item
severity scale for obsessions and compulsions combined. It
encompasses the revisions made in the Yale-Brown Obsessive-
compulsive Scale, Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II) severity scale
5. by including obsessive-compulsive free intervals and extent of
avoidance and excluding the resistance item (Beierot, Edman,
Frisen, & Humble, 2017).
Catatonia
Requires the presence of 3 or more of 12 psychomotor features:
Stupor, catalepsy, mutism, waxy flexibility, negativism,
posturing, mannerism, agitation not influenced by external
stimuli, grimacing, echolalia, echopraxia. There are many
causes for catatonia; mental disorders, Parkinson’s disease,
PTSD, some medication withdrawals (APA, 2013).
History and mental status exam, mental health
evaluation/medical evaluation & assessments, Fibrin D-Dimer
blood test, CT scan, MRI, Bush-Francis Catatonia Scale
(BFCRS)
Catatonia is associated with depressive disorders as well as can
be caused by other issues and can be discovered through
physical examination as well as CT Scans/MRI that allow the
physician to see brain functioning as well as the blood test to
check the levels-500 mg/ml catatonia is likely (Halverson,
2019).
Personality Disorder
The DSM-5 defines personality disorder as an enduring pattern
of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from
the expectations of the individual’s culture, is pervasive and
inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is
stable overtime, and leads to distress or impairment (APA,
2013).
The structured clinical interview can be used to diagnose the 10
different types of personality. Another type of that may be used
is the MMPI-2.
The structured clinical interview is used by using a
questionnaire. This is a 119-item test that the individual will
self-report the answers.
6. The MMPI-2 takes the individual a little under two hours to
complete. This test consists of a 567 item test for self-reporting.
This test is the most accurate test based on the individual’s
answers (Drayton, 2009).
Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)
Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders are classified in terms
of psychological symptoms and behaviors that emerge in
response to an external event/stressor, which is a critical
diagnostic condition. The DSM-V criteria for ASD is the
presence of nine or more symptoms from five categories;
Intrusion, negative Mood, Disassociation, Avoidance and
arousal with the durations of disturbance three days to one
month following the trauma (APA, 2013).
The Acute Stress Disorder Interview (ASDI; Bryant, Harvey,
Dang, & Sackville, 1998), Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS;
Bryant, Moulds, & Guthrie, 2000)
The Acute Stress Disorder Interview (ASDI) is a 19-item
instrument and is dichotomously scored with either 0 (equal to
symptom absence) or 1 (equal to symptom presence). Summing
positive responses provides a total score (range 1–19).
Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS) is a 19-item, self-report
inventory that indexes ASD and predicts PTSD. The ASDS
includes 5 dissociative, 4 reexperiencing, 4 avoidance, and 6
arousal symptoms items. Respondents rate each item on a 5-
point scale (1 = not at all to 5 = very much) and summing items
provides “Total” and subscale scores (Pomeroy, 2014).
Respond to the following question in 150–175 words.
1. How are psychometric personality assessments used in
evaluating psychopathology and personality? How do people
with schizophrenia spectrum disorder perform on psychological
7. tests?
There are many ways that a psychometric personality
assessment can be used in evaluating psychopathology and
personality. A few of these ways are through self – reporting
assessments such as the 175-item true or false assessment
known as the Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory or the
MCMI which is a self – reporting assessment which assesses
personality characteristic, assess psychopathology as well as
emotional adjustments. This assessment can be used for both
diagnosis and character descriptions. Assessments such as this
can assist the psychologist or counselor in making a diagnosis
for the client. People with Schizophrenia spectrum disorder may
perform poorly on psychological tests as their cognitive
function is impaired. People who are diagnosed with
Schizophrenia spectrum disorder may find it hard to focus or
pay attention, hold poor executive functions such as the ability
to understand information and use it to make decisions, issues
with working memory and lacking the ability to use information
immediately after learning it, and a slow processing speed.
